Help Julie Penso's Battle With A Rare Ovarian Cancer
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Cameron Carruthers. My fiancé, Julie Penso, and I finally bought our first house in February of 2024 after 8 years of saving and struggling. We were settling in and unpacking when Julie started to have severe pain in her abdomen. We decided to discuss with her doctor only to eventually, after many long weeks/months of not knowing anything, find out she has stage 3 ovarian cancer called dysgerminoma. It is a very rare type that typically only develops in young teens. She is in for a hard few months of chemo as well as the devastating news that she may never be able to have children.
I would like to be able to tell her that she will not have to work while she is undergoing the toughest challenge she may ever face in her life just to alleviate the mental strain that I can only imagine she is going through.
